Just broke $2000 on our World Up WU School indiegogo campaign site!  We have been awarded a generous MacArthur grant alongside the likes of MoMA and the Museum of Natural History! In order to receive this generous grant we must match their donation and raise $25,000! Money will go towards ipads, applications, music recording software, transportation, healthy snacks, teaching artist stipends and curriculum development for our Fall educational programming at the Brooklyn Community Arts and Media High School.  Please donate and share with your network to help us provide hip-hop, music engineering, and technology education for NYC teens!

I posted back in March about a potential JR piece I spotted on a TGV train into Paris in 2011, and I recently saw this photo posted on JR's Facebook.

** PHOTO OF THE WEEK **  Got a special one for you this week.... 

On the top we have a photo of Hicham Ibrahim a.k.a. DJ Sotusura currently living in Amman, Jordan. Original photo taken by photographer Laith Majali.

On the bottom we have a photo taken in Martinique in the Caribbean, where a friend of Sotusura's decided to bomb a wall with the very same image. 

One more level... a huge version of the photo is also currently posted on a wall visible from a major train line in Rotterdam, Holland.
